by popular demand . . . or, y'know, christina's. it looks like 9/10 of these are local bands, on merge, or both, so take this list as you will. presented alphabetically, b/c hey, i like the alphabet (who doesn't?). a list of my top books will appear in january, b/c i could read something totally amazing in the next few weeks, but i feel pretty good about these album selections. i am pretty sure they all came out in 2005:
1. audubon park--the bunny is not as popular as julius
2. lou barlow--emoh
3. blockhead--downtown science
4. crooked fingers--dignity and shame
5. erie choir--bad tsars is a drag
6. kingsbury manx--the fast rise and fall of the south
7. portastatic--bright ideas
8. the rosebuds--birds make good neighbors
9. tenement halls--knitting needles and bicycle bells
10. work clothes--these are the shoes we wear
there you have it--the ten albums/EPs i listened to most in 2005, and put on the most mix cds so i could sing along in my car.

this year has been a good year for music.
yeah, i did have a tough time narrowing it down--although really, these ten albums were all stellar and in seriously heavy rotation on my ipod and in my car.
wow - I only know two of those!
that can't be true! do you mean you only own two of them? :)
actually - I own three...and mr. p. owns one more. but that's it!
ooh, ooh! i guess that between the two of you, you own . . . the rosebuds, portastatic, work clothes, and . . . crooked fingers?
the rosebuds, work clothes, portastatic and....eric choir :-)
erie, erie!
i think that's a pretty common typo--i know i've done it more than once myself. :)
dang, i was so close.
I'm going to be posting my own soon too...been whittling it down. So hard, 'cause it's been a fantastic year for music. The Rosebuds album is definitely on my list though, too.
yay for the rosebuds!!! that is a great cd.
